That's awesome. You couldn't have picked a better novelty 80's pop song to put on that game.

But as far as actual good music, apart from Dio, Priest, and Dead Kennedy's, there's really nothing much here. I think a Megadeth song would have been a nice touch for this game. Or at least serve as a counteraction to stuff like Asia.

Ya know, we can sit here for the next 2 years typing in what bands we think should be on there. The possibilities are endless, that's why the owner's of the Guitar Hero empire probably slobber all over themselves thinking about the millions and millions of dollars they will rake. Can you say Guitar Hero 47? Give it a few years...

what a bunch of whiners....i think this lineup is more than adequate...ever heard of licensing fees, etc? THAT'S why some of the big names that should be on here are not....jesus people, either buy it or don't....

I can't wait for the Rock Band game (from the creators of GH) that is in the works. I hope there is a good selection there, they allow for visitors to submit four songs to be in the game. I suggested Venom, 3IOB, Manowar, and Judas Priest.

OMFG!!!! This is so f***in Awesome!!!! I can't wait to play these GREAT tunes on my overpriced guitar symbolizing my musical ineptitude on my,"Let's Pretend This Isn't As Gay As Dance Dance" game!!!!! Yipeeee!!!!
